you just need to get hold of the Australian possum crawdad scruffy micro-dub fibre and you're away  :lol:
Give it a name someone will buy it.

"Bloody hell boss have you seen that latest batch of roosters - very poor quality necks."

"No problem, let's give them a fancy name and try to pass them off as something special"

"What about Spey hackle then?"

"Nice one, they will be fighting to get them"

:lol:

from the tying beta for senyo's preyfish; Tie in a small clump of Frosted Crayfish Orange Australian Opossum,
you couldn't make it up... :roll:

Did it indicate if the size or shape of the clump was critical?

One with 4 lead wires tied onto the top of the hook shank to make it fish point up.

Speaking of rare tying materials...Roobarb needs to get going on this fellow-

'til a voice as bad as conscience,
rang interminable changes,
on an everlasting whisper,
day and night repeated so-
"Something hidden, go and find it,
Go and look beyond the ranges,
Something lost beyond the ranges,
Lost and waiting for you,
Go."

The American carp guys seem to go in for these hybrid worm flies quite a bit. The metal bead chain eyes will make it swim point up. Another essential quick tying.   :8)

Indeed. Fulling Mill barbless. They are stout hooks.

Does that std version have the correct number of fibers in the tail?  :D
